According to the Los Angeles County Fire Department, calls of a fire near East 108th and South Alameda streets began coming in just before 5 a.m.
It happened at the Best Wood Work Pallets located in an unincorporated part of Watts. It's been in business in the area for more than 20 years.
The owner of the business says he's fortunate enough to have insurance, which offers some solace.
Authorities say Urban Search and Rescue crews were called to the scene, which is standard protocol. Video obtained by Eyewitness News early Sunday morning shows large flames as crews were getting to the scene.
